Safe and non-toxic for all the family

All of our artificial grass is specially designed from non-toxic and safe materials so you can rest assured that our artificial grass is child-safe and pet-safe. This means you can let your pets and little ones enjoy your outdoor space without the risk of contact with any chemicals.

The non-toxic nature of our fake grass means you won’t have to worry should your dog accidentally eat a small amount of artificial grass.

Allows your dog to do their business outside

Fake grass is a brilliant alternative to real grass, allowing your dog to use the bathroom outdoors. False turf can easily be cleaned using a hose and fresh water, washing away any dirt, debris and waste.

You can also use specially-made synthetic grass cleaner to keep your lawn fresh, hygienic and clean. Just like artificial grass, this spray is safe and pet-friendly.

One important thing to note is if you’re installing artificial grass and have pets, you should avoid using foam underlay as this can absorb liquids and make for foul-smelling and unhygienic conditions.

No muddy paws

There’s nothing more frustrating than your pup tracking dirty paws all over your home and doggy bath times are always a lot of work. False turf eliminates this issue and lets your dog enjoy the sensation of grass without any mud, puddles or grime.

No harmful pests

In the same way that artificial grass eliminates problems associated with dirt, it also gets rid of the risk of pests. Fleas, ticks and other insects that usually reside amongst natural grass cannot live on fake turf. This means your dog is safe from harmful parasites and bugs that can cause nasty issues and expensive vet bills.

Eliminates allergy issues

Unfortunately, some cats and dogs suffer from pollen allergies which makes them unable to enjoy grass the way they should. Luckily for your pets, false turf doesn’t produce any pollen so both you and any pets suffering from allergies can enjoy the comfort of grass without any adverse reactions.

Low maintenance

False grass is easy to maintain and doesn’t require the hassle involved in keeping real grass in good condition like mowing and watering. This means your pets can enjoy the garden whenever they want and you won’t have to keep them indoors whilst using harmful pesticides or mowing.

No chemicals or pesticide treatments

Not only are your pets safe from any chemicals in our artificial grass, but they’ll also be safe from any additional pesticides and chemicals. You’ll never need to treat your grass to keep it looking fresh and green, meaning you and your pets can keep away from nasty chemicals whilst outside.

Outdoor play all year round

In the wetter winter months, natural grass dies and your lawn is often left looking dull, dead and dry. False turf keeps its look and feel all year round so you and your pets can enjoy a green outdoor space even in the colder months.

An option like this Cannes Grass offers a luxurious, deep piled texture that is ultra-realistic and soft, allowing for a stunning garden all year round that’s bound to be the envy of all your neighbours!

Durable long-lasting grass for your dogs

The rough and tumble of your pooches' play time is no match for our artificial grass! It’s designed with a spongy and resistant material to ensure it keeps its natural-looking shape and structure.

False turf also stands the test of time, meaning you're investing in a solution that allows your pets to enjoy the outdoors for years to come.

A precious space for your pooch on a budget

Many people don't have the space or funds to create a garden area for their pets, but with artificial turf, this can be achieved without breaking the bank. We have a range of artificial grass from elite grass for a super luxurious and indulgent feel to essential grass that offers homeowners the opportunity to give their pets a green space on a budget.
